Summary

This study looked at whether giving an extra hormone (FSH) along with the usual hCG trigger before egg retrieval in IVF can improve egg quality and pregnancy rates. 232 women undergoing IVF took part. The goal was to see if this approach, which mimics a natural menstrual cycle, leads to better fertilization and more pregnancies.
